Can’t believe I’ve actually got to week 6 (R1).

Never ever did I think I’d be running, I’m not gonna lie it’s been in the treadmill in the gym but I’m doing it.

Well done wherever you are doing it, I have only ever got to week 5, which I did very slowly doing each week twice and still ended up injuring myself! Probably you are very sensible doing it on a treadmill. Fab!

There’s nothing wrong with running on a treadmill…you still have to run! You’re doing fantastically.

There’s a brilliant little guide to the programme here with lots of helpful hints and tips.  Well worth a read.  Most important is keeping it slow and steady at a pace where you can talk in full sentences without gasping.  Most of us go too fast!healthunlocked.com/couchto5....

Really good luck with your next run and keep posting. You’ve got lots of virtual run buddies here to cheer you on!
